>>>I will wager you envisioned a community of mansions when you first heard “gated community.”

How much??

You’d lose. In my world, “gated community” is any area where access is controlled by gates. Doesn’t matter what kind of housing is behind the gates.

I think that if Trayvon had not been shot in self deffense by Zimmerman, he was ontrack to live in a taxpayer supported “gated community” of his own—Zimmerman saved the taxpayers of Florida a lot of money.

“You’d lose. In my world, ‘gated community’ is any area where access is controlled by gates. Doesn’t matter what kind of housing is behind the gates.”

Would you be comfortable admitting most people aren’t Mr. Literal like you, and that the MSM, as well as everyone else, is fond of using prejudicial language to mislead people? Further, you are aware, aren’t you, that “gated community” has meaning beyond “a community set behind gates,” correct? And one of these meanings, the best know meaning, is a community exclusive of people who aren’t rich and white? That much, at least, you can admit.
